Hello all, Ok I have a question but first I need to know has any of you build the Zvezda BTR-80A kit Next QT-Question is there a set of resin wheel/tire set out that match the tires of the box art.

Thanks for reading guys.

Nope there are no aftermarket tires as depicted on the kit box....and they are not the same as the other BTR-70 and 80 tires available. Too bad since they would really spruce up the look of the kit.

Here's a build of the kit....

Ok update I found them in 1/72 scale but I need them in 1/35 scale. here's the image from the box and the 1/72 tire.

Thanks for the build up link. Hay do you think that the LAV 8x8 tires are close in size to the BTR tires depicted on the box cover. What I'm saying is if I made a mold of the Trump LAV tires and with the resin copys sand off all the original LAV tred pattern and added the tred pattern of the BTR-80A depicted on the box cover. I the would have a new tire for a project. Do you think this will work?

SP Designs do a Resin BTR80 wheel set in 1:35 both open hub and armoured closed hub style. EDIT- Hadn't realised you wanted specifically as they appear in the box art... so perhaps you could just use these SP wheels as a basis for conversion if the tread is wrong?

How about Hussar's BTR-152 wheels? I'm not sure how big they are or what the size difference is with the BTR-80 but the tread pattern seems very close to the example in the picture... Maybe you could convert these or work with them?

I like those Hussar tires man they look realy good man. Oh and by the way I have one of those ZiL trucks as well. Thanks for all the help M8.
